Dangerous polar low: Footage of wild winter weather

Conditions are crazy across south-east Australia. It's even snowing in Queensland.

RAIN could spoil the Ekka holiday night, with the Bureau of Meteorology not ruling out the chance of a shower.

Storms are on the move in regions south-west of Brisbane, with the chance of light showers for Brisbane city tonight.

A Bureau of Meteorology spokesman said there was a storm around Redbank and Archerfield, but it was unlikely that a storm would reach the Exhibition grounds.

“Certainly not a storm — there might be a few spots of light rain,” he said. “There could be a light shower within the next half-hour or hour.” Earlier, Springbrook, in the Gold Coast Hinterland received light hail while Beaudesert, Jimboomba, Amberley, Harrisville, Gold Coast and Ipswich regions are currently being hit by storms.
